Not bad, that's pretty good for a guy that'll be fresh out of high school.

Emmanuel Mudiay has agreed to a one-year, $1.2 million contract with Guangdong of the China Basketball Association, the richest overseas contract ever for a high school player, a source told Yahoo Sports.
Mudiay, 19, had been faced with eligibility issues for his freshman season at Southern Methodist University under Hall of Fame coach Larry Brown and made the decision to play in China before becoming eligible for the 2015 NBA draft.
Mudiay, a 6-foot-5 guard, is considered a lottery pick in the Class of 2015. With the Chinese season ending in March, Mudiay's plan will be to return to the United States and use the remaining few months to prepare for the 2015 draft in June, a source said. Mudiay has also taken out insurance policies to protect him in China against injury that could impact his future earnings, a source said.
Guangdong is an elite Chinese team that won 30 of 34 games in the CBA last season. The roster included former NBA lottery pick Yi Jianlian and ex-NBA guard Royal Ivey.

Kid must have a smart agent.

That will be quite a culture shock for the young man. I hope his agent prepares him to deal with that and isn't just looking at the dollar signs for a one-year contract.

Brandon Jennings went from high school to a Euroleague team for a million dollar plus one year contract.
This is the first kid I've heard of who will do what Jennings did. If I recall right the Jennings experiment satisfied neither Jennings nor his Euro team. It's tough for a high school kid to play with grown men making a living. Wasn't Jennings considered a bust over there?
